New Schiff base complexes were prepared using the bioactive antimicrobial bis-Schiff base ligand synthesized by condensation of 2-aminobenzoic acid and 2,2′-(ethylenedioxy)bis(benzaldehyde). The pK A value of the bis-Schiff base was determined through visible spectrophotometric experiments and the stability constants of its complexes were also studied. The structural features of the complexes were determined from their elemental analyses, magnetic susceptibility, molar conductance, and spectral (IR and 1H NMR) studies. Powder XRD indicates that all the complexes are amorphous except the Cr(III) and Cu(II) chelates which are crystalline. The data revealed that the stoichiometries of all prepared complexes are of 1:1 M/L type. The UV-vis absorption spectral data for the complexes suggest an octahedral geometry around the central metal ion. Thermogravimetric data (TG and DTG) were also studied. The kinetic and thermodynamic parameters for thermal decomposition of the complexes were calculated by graphical methods using the Coats-Redfern approach. The antimicrobial activity of the bis-Schiff base and its complexes was tested against a number of bacteria and fungi to assess their inhibiting potential. Most of the complexes exhibit antibacterial activity more than the parent bis-Schiff base. Also Cr(III), Co(II), and Ni(II) complexes have antifungal activity against Candida albicans whereas the parent bis-Schiff base is inactive. A recovery test was also applied for the spectrophotometric determination of Fe(III) in different natural water samples. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
